What Time of Year Do You Plant a Vegetable Garden?
Weather plays a key role in when to plant a vegetable garden. It is imperative to determine the last frost date for the area so plants and seeds do not succumb to frost damage. Amazingly, planting can go on throughout the year because of warm weather vegetables and winter varieties that are harvested the following year. Garden preparations are also an ongoing task, from selecting seeds and starting them to developing a plant rotation system to keep the soil healthy.
